It is said that he lost his $80 million fortune, has four kids by four “baby mamas” and is no longer cool with Kita Williams and Monique Jackson, the other stars of his The T.O. Show, who served as his marketing and publicity experts, providing guidance in both his personal and professional lives. Say it all ain’t so, TO! Below is what he shared...
Concerning the upcoming Super Bowl, he said he likes both teams and predicted that they would get to the Super Bowl, so he said they are both very, very good teams and also said, “I’m in NY, but Chad Ochocinco, (wide receiver for the New England Patriots) is my friend.” Trust Wendy, she quickly slipped it in that she doesn’t believe in Chad and Evelyn Lozada’s relationship, even though T.O. laughed and said it’s real and they are getting married. When asked if he will be going to Indianapolis for the game, he said he will be going because he has some things to do there.
It's not news that T.O. is no longer in the NFL and is now in the IFL where really anyone can play. He said he is using it to keep himself in shape and it is also business opportunity for him. Fortunately, he gets paid more than the obligatory $500 others are paid, which he said his attorneys and agents are still working on. He is using the opportunity to show anyone looking that he’s still got "it," just like other players use other sports and hobbies to stay in shape and he has no fear of injuries that could permanently leave him out of the NFL for good. At his age, he needs to get back in the NFL ASAP and get the last few years he can out of it before it’s all over.
Wendy remarked about him coming to her show all by himself, with no agents, managers or friends. Talk about fair weather friends! In a February GQ magazine article, he bares his soul, and discusses losing his $80 million and how has been going through “stuff,” since October/November 2010, including his advisors putting his money into risky investments, while telling him to concentrate on his game. No wonder rich people are so weary of people.
He said the article is an eye opener for a lot of guys coming into the league. However, he also said, this has happened to many people in the league before him and will happen to more people after him. A “friend” of his also stole about $300,000 from him, which the bank graciously returned to him, even though I'm sure they will prosecute the "friend." His grandmother, who raised him also recently passed away, so these are trying times for the cute guy with a warm smile.
Concerning the four kids by four women who were not his wives or fiancés, and were products of drive by relationships he had, he said of his "situation", “I’m not proud of that situation, but I’m proud of my kids. Up until now, nobody knew about my kids.” He pays a hefty $45,000 total monthly to all his baby mamas, which is an amount based on his 2006 salary of $10-$12 million a year. So he’s in and out of courts working on changing that since he isn't making that much anymore.
He also just recently met his 5 year old son for the first time earlier this month. Why this guy who should know women would want to have babies by him to "be a millionaire" like the 50 cent song, doesn’t wear condoms every time is beyond me. Rich men need to know that having babies by rich men is a "job" many women want, so they can get off the work/pay day treadmill.
Chad while sowing his wild oats and acquiring the kids and baby mamas with the prevalent "No woman will tie me down" mentality of many modern males, has experienced the flip side of that mentality, where he doesn't have a spouse covering his back, reviewing opportunities being brought to him and even interceding in prayer for him and his decisions, so it's really not surprising that he ended up the way he has.
The bad thing about his current situation is that he didn’t lose his money through drugs, strippers and gambling like some do. He lost it in bad investments and having a lot of trust in the wrong people, which a very upset Wendy said, “Makes me want to crack your scull.”
He also said, Mo and Keita from the T.O show double crossed him by shopping for a reality show for themselves, without him, and then when he found out and confronted them, they said they were going to make him the executive producer. Ahuh...I tell you, you can’t trust your own people. We sometimes act like crabs, stepping on each other to get out of a bushel!
The brother is down, but definitely not out, please support T.O.’s acting career and watch the movie, Dysfunctional Friends starting this Friday in select theatres all over the country. Also, read the GQ article in the February edition of GQ Magazine, in which he tells GQ, 'I'm in Hell,' so you can learn to not make the mistakes he made.
